If this check box is cleared, LN does not record the inventory for each combination of lot and warehouse, and location. For more information, refer to Lot control (not in inventory). You can only select this check box if the item is lot controlled. An item is lot controlled if for the item the Lot Controlled check box in the Item Defaults (tcibd0102m000) session is selected. If this item uses unit effectivity, you cannot clear this check box, because unit effectivity relies on lots in inventory. If this check box is selected, the following fields, which are used in the high volume scenario, are set to read-only and have the Not Applicable value: Note By default, this field is selected by LN for manufactured assembly items only if the item is also unit effectivity enabled. Default Inventory Lot Size The default lot size in an inventory that is allowed in a warehouse. Note
Lot Tracking Serials in Inventory If this check box is selected, the low volume scenario is used, which means that serial numbers are individually stored in inventory. You can view the serial numbers in inventory in the Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000) session. Note Select this check box for low volume environments in which intensive tracking of serialized items, throughout the goods flow, is required and where each serialized item must be handled individually. Clear this check box for high volume environments in which serialized items do not require tracking throughout the goods flow, individual handling, and storage in inventory. If serials are stored in inventory, you cannot enable backflushing in Manufacturing. For more information, refer to Backflush Materials. By default, this field is selected by LN for manufactured assembly items. Important! If this check box is unavailable, make sure the Direct Proc Wh Order Line check box in the Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) session is cleared. If this check box is selected, you can convert the serialized item to not being recorded in inventory. For this purpose, choose Convert to Not in Inventory if inventory is present for the item.

For customized STO items, you must select value Free. However, this value is not available if the value in the Ownership Registration Level field is Warehouse. Ownership for Return to Warehouse This field determines how to handle the ownership for production return orders. On a production order, a business partner is not known. As a result, Manufacturing cannot read an agreement. Instead, Manufacturing obtains a default value from the current field. Allowed values Class of Risk The class of risk that applies to the hazardous material. This field is only accessible when the Hazardous Material check box is selected. This field is used to select data to print national bills of lading, CMRs, freight documents, and inventory data in the Warehouse Orders module. Floor Stock If this check box is selected, the item is a floor stock item. Floor stock items are not included in the order content. Therefore, no transactions, such as backflushing, are performed on them, both in Job Shop Control and in Assembly Control. However, floor stock items are in one case part of the order content, although even now no transactions are performed on them. This is the case when you print work instructions, and the following conditions apply:

For example, a quantity of wood can be expressed as a length by using the unit of one meter, or as a volume by using the unit of one cubic meter. Slow-Moving Percentage The limit up to which an item is identified as a slow moving item. This value is retrieved based on the turnover rate of the item. Ranges of To Turnover Rate (Upper Boundary) exist, each with a Slow-Moving Percentage assigned. The Perform Slow-Moving Analysis (whina6220m000) session uses this information to assign the correct Slow-Moving Percentage to the items. The turnover rate is calculated as follows: Turnover rate = annual usage / inventory on hand Expected Annual Issue The expected annual issue is the quantity of the item that is expected to be used (issued) for each year, expressed in the inventory unit. Allowed values Minimum: 0 Maximum: 999999999.9999 Default value 0 For the ABC analysis of items with a historical usage spanning no more than three periods, the expected annual issue is used in the Perform ABC Analysis (whina6210m000) session. The expected annual issue is also used in the Calculate Economic Order Quantity (Camp) (whina2201m000) session. The expected annual issue is updated through the Calculate Demand Forecast (whina2202m000) session. The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Forecast Method The forecast method determines how the expected demand for the item in the next period is forecast.
These methods must be predefined in the Forecast Methods (whina2100m000) session. The forecast method is only used in the Calculate Demand Forecast (whina2202m000) session. In which it serves to compute:
